Capacitor Wiring?

If 1 capacitor has enough Farads, is it alright to wire it for 2 amps? Or is it better to run individual caps per amps?

Yes, if the cap has enough capacitance (farads), you can wire multiple amplifiers and it will work just fine...

A capacitor will have an affect on the entire system, it is a storage device (electrons) whose function is to oppose the change in system voltage.


but really I do not get your question on how many farads and amps... I mean what are you trying to ask?

Basically what he is trying to ask is, "Would it be alright for me to use one capacitor (multifarad) for multiple devices (more than one amplifier)?"...

What do you expect the cap to do?
